I feel I have tried all I can think of and still he jumps into the abyss.I have tried different places along the rope but he is just not at the right place and plummets. I am all out of things to do. I thought he might be too low so tried the up arrow with the jump but no. It has got so that every time I log into my computer the first thing I do before anything else is try to get him onto the opposite ledge! How sad is that?

Have started playing Adam's Venture episode one and have come upon a bit where I cannot go further. The hints etc can't help me anymore so was wondering if you could help please. The thing is, I am at a part where he has to shimmy around a cave on a rope at the end of which is a place where he has to jump from the rope onto white stones. I have followed the walkthrough to the letter but each time I leave the rope, hanging from one hand as described, he jumps into the abyss! I have consulted the sellers they maintain that if the game downloads it is not faulty. Also mailed the game company but they have not replied even though I sent a DXDIAG thingy too. Is there anything you can suggest that would allow me to continue with my game? hate to leave unfinished games! Grrr!

I haven't played the game, but I think this is a Hints problem rather than a technical problem. The walkthrough may not be clear, or it's possible the game interface isn't consistent. Anyway, I'll move your post to Hints.
